Abstract
Abstract Electrophilic amination of four 9-ethylguanine derivatives and seven 1-methylbenzimidazole derivatives with 2,4-dinitrophenoxyamine was carried out. N-amination proceeded at the imidazole moiety of these compounds with pKa's of more than 3.2. Treatment of these N-aminated derivatives with 0.1 N NaOH gave different results depending on their structures. Reactivity of the imidazole moiety to electrophilic amination and the reaction pathways of N-aminated compounds with alkaline treatment are discussed.
